last gasp: 2005

there's a lot i'd like to say about this year, but i fear i've said it more than you actually cared to hear it as we went along. so i'll spare you this time. merry christmas.

but really, you've been amazing this year. what i did to deserve your unwavering support, friendship, and encouragement ... i have no idea. thank you.

thank you, thank you, thank you.

i wish you and your families nothing but the best in 2006 and beyond.

thank you.

ah, the stories you could tell
